Is it possible to get furloughed while there are people junior to you on the Q simply because they have to maintain a certain amount of people from colgan on the Q?
For example lets say I am 900 on the new seniority list and fly the 200 at pinnacle. Lets also say the most junior guy on the Q is a 2000 number. Now when the 200's get parked and i am displaced would i be able to go to the Q or would I get furloughed because they have to maintain the quota of captains.
I'm going to guess you've never been furloughed because this is really a kind of ridiculous question. You can't be furloughed from a captains position (unless of course you were a street captain), you furlough off the bottom of the list. So you could potentially be artifically downgraded but you could not be furloughed because first you would be downgraded and once downgraded there are no fences or quotas for fo's.
